Eva Green's racy Sin City 2 poster edited to reveal less breast after being deemed too risqué by ratings board

But the new Sin City: A Dame To Kill For poster featuring busty Eva Green has been tweaked just enough to now deem it suitable for publication, after the MPAA - Motion Picture Association of America - concluded that the original image was too risqué.

'Green’s robe is less sheer,' a source tells Page Six of the tiny change made to appease the ratings board.

An almost imperceptible change: After the original Eva Green poster for Sin City: A Dame To Kill For was deemed too risqué by the MPAA, her white robe was made a little 'less sheer' to appease the ratings board

Too sexy? The original image was banned 'for nudity - curve of under breast and dark nipple/areola circle visible through sheer gown'

The
poster, in which the stunning actress is standing by a window, bathed in
dapled light coming in through a blind, sees the 33-year-old French
beauty clad only in a sheer white dressing gown.

The
dark and moody shot features pops of bright red in the form of the
star's lipstick and nails, while she wields a gun in one hand and dons a
sparkling diamond engagement ring on the other.

The tagline reads: 'I've been especially bad.'

The
image was banned 'for nudity - curve of under breast and dark
nipple/areola circle visible through sheer gown', Page Six first
reported last week.

fatale: The 33-year-old beat out director Robert Rodriguez's first
choice Angelina Jolie as well as Salma Hayek, Rose McGowan and Rachel

Following
the board decision, Dimension Film execs sprung into action as they
worked 'on a compromise with the MPAA' prior to the sequel opening in
theatres on August 22.

Apparently, this sort of strict censorship 'happens all the time'.

'The movie will submit ads and the MPAA will ask for tweaks to be made,' an industry insider told E! Online. 'There's a compromise and that's it.'

As revealed in the 2006 documentary This Film Is Not Yet Rated, the ratings and appeals board members have little expertise and are supposed to be parents of children 5-17 - though many aren't.
